ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE VAN HAS SHUT OFF WHEN DRIVING. I HAVE TO GO TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THEN RESTART THE VAN. I HAVE HAD IT IN TO SEVERAL MECHANICS TO TRY TO FIND OUT WHAT THE ISSUE IS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD TO BRING IT IN WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN, WHICH ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE WHEN I AM ON THE HIGHWAY OR AFTER HOURS. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS ISSUE (L25/NHTSA 14V-373) AND HAVE CALLED THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS TOLD THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE AND THEY WOULD CALL ME AS SOON AS IT BECAME AVAILABLE. THE LAST TIME I CALLED I WAS TOLD THEY NO LONGER ARE MAKING THE PART OF THIS YEAR VEHICLE. MY QUESTION IS, THAT IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND AM INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN UNRESOLVED WHO SHOULD I LET MY FAMILY KNOW TO CONTACT, FOR DAMAGES? I DON'T FEEL WE SHOULD BE FORCED TO BUY A DIFFERENT VEHICLE JUST BECAUSE THE CORPORATION HAS FAILED TO MAKE SURE THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

I HAVE FILED 2 COMPLAINTS REGARDING RECALL L25 FOR DODGE/CHRYSLER VEHICLES. 2009 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN COMPLETELY SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. STEERING GOES OUT, BRAKES OUT. COMPLETE POWER OUT WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY. I HAVE CHILDREN I HAVE TO TAKE TO MULTIPLE PLACES. BY THE GRACE OF GOD, THE 5 TIMES THIS HAPPENED, WE .WERE ON SLOW MOVING, NON BUSY ROADS NEAR HOME. I HAVE NOT YET EXPERIENCED THIS ON THE HIGHWAY. IT WOULD BE POTENTIALLY FATAL. I USUALLY DRIVE IN THE LANES ON THE OUTSIDE SO IF IT OCCURS, I MAY BE ABLE. TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE. I HAVE TO TAKE THE HIGHWAY DAILY TO WORK.THERE WERE 5 OCCURRENCES, 2 IN OCTOBER 2014 AND NOW RECENTLY 3 MORES TIMES CLOSE TOGETHER, DEC.20, 23 AND JAN 11, 2015. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE 3 TIMES. I WAS ADVISED TO REMOVE KEYS OR ANYTHING HANGING FROM FOB, I HAVE AND THIS DOES NOT HELP THE ISSUE OR IS EVEN THE CAUSE. I DO NOT THINK THEY KNOW WHY THIS PROBLEM IS OCCURRING. CHRYSLER REALLY NEEDS TO SPEED UP THE RECALL PROCESS BEFORE THERE ARE FATALITIES. *TR
